If we add state capitalism to the Bush administrationís success in eroding both the US Constitution and the power of Congress, we may be witnessing the final death of accountable constitutional government.

When America's creditors consider our behavior they see total fiscal irresponsibility. They see a deluded country that acts as if it is a privilege for foreigners to lend to it, and a deluded country that believes that foreigners will continue to accumulate US debt until the end of time.
